Chapter 8

Chloe's Point of View

It all came back to me, like a really long nightmare. I probably screamed at remembering every single detail, like I was reliving it. It was all flashes of pictures, voices, and blood. When it finally ended, I was breathing hard, my side hurt, and a layer of sweat covered me. I had scared the living hell out of Harry.

"Oh my god; Chloe you are a ne'er ending source of surprises ain't you?" he seemed out of breath himself, and the smile he always had had been replaced by shock, and fear.

"I remember all of it, Liam, Simon, the rock that cut me, and," I paused and looked at Harry. I was thankful I remembered what happened to me, but I didn't like how I had come to remember. "And the request I made. It was you that had picked me up." Derek had told me it had been Harry, but that was before I remembered I had said something drastic in my mental absence. Harry merely nodded.

"I didn't want to tell him, I wasn't sure if you really thought you were gonna, you know, 'kick the bucket'." I was assuming that term meant dying, so I nodded.

"I am glad you didn't tell him, I would have been worried, I don't know how he feels about me. I had just not wanted to leave this side without telling someone. You know I finally figured out I loved him after Liam and Ramon had taken the both of us, when I thought about it, I realised I was waiting for Derek to save us, well me. I spent a lot of time crying when we all walked, well; Ramon dragged Simon, and Liam carried me because my feet didn't work. They enjoyed that I was crying. Liam dropped me on the rock that had hurt my side." My side hurt to recall it. I looked at Harry and hoped he would say something.

"I'm sorry I made yall remember it all at once, it looked mighty painful." His face returned to a smile. "but I am glad you remember, that can help yall out later."

"So you didn't tell him in case I wasn't really going to die?" He shook his head smiling.

"Naw, Chloe I didn't tell em because I wasn't gonna do it for ya." He chuckled. I lied there and looked at him.

"After all that just happened to all of us, you're still going to make me tell him that myself? Are you sure you aren't just letting me walk to my emotional doom? Or are you sure you aren't just barking mad? No pun intended." He laughed outright at that, and it reached his eyes; it seldom did with Derek. Harry had chocolate brown eyes, not like the usual brown that you see. He noticed me looking at his eyes.

"I get the eye color from my dad, but the color gets richer after I changed. It'll happen to Derek to, and then maybe he'll be able to wear some of the clothes he lent me." I just kind of stared. Derek lent Harry those clothes. My thoughts were mirrored.

"Yeah, Derek lent me the cheery green sweater. I also got a ton of other bright colored clothes from em, considering his wardrobe the past few days I've known em he doesn't use em enough, but we have been sharing clothes, so I just pick the ones that make me seem happier." I guess Derek did think he should look a bit cheerier.

"Maybe you and you happy attitude will rub off on him more; it seems your smile already has." He was smiling again, as usual. "Hey Harry, have you met Tori?" His smile fazed a bit, but remained.

"Yup, I met her a while back; I think it was first day you got in here. She seems to like me, how do you let her down easy? She is a hard one to say no to." Now I was laughing. "What is it?" he didn't seem please at my laughter, because his eyebrows furrowed. "Come on tell me already."

"The only way she will stop chasing you is if you died." I tried to say through my laughter; and now my tears because I was laughing so much I was tearing up. It felt good to laugh, but my side started to hurt.

"Can't I just tell her about my mate?" I froze. Derek had mentioned mates for wolves a while back.

"You have a mate? Why are you so far from her?" as much as Derek told me, wolf mates are never too far away from one another.

"She and I moved in yesterday. She was in a motel an hour away when you got hurt, so she packed up, left the motel, came here, and moved in, but that has not deterred Tori from me."

That wasn't good. "Do you think it's because my mate hasn't changed yet? She is really close to her second change, and I wasn't sure if that was-" I stopped him there. Females don't change. Unless bitten.

"You bit her? Where did you bite her, why did you bite her, how?" he was smiling, but it didn't reach his eyes, he was remembering what happened.

"It was an accident, but I'm glad it did, our bond is stronger than ever." He smiled fully now, because he was happy about everything, I'm guessing.

"Aren't you with her when she changes? It is murder for Derek, so I can't imagine what it would be like for her." He put his head down. Obviously not pleased with what his answer would be. "Oh," He put his head in his hands.

"I love her so much, I feel terrible I was never with her for the first change. Now seeing you and what you have done for Derek, I won't miss her next change." I was glad I could do that for him. Making him see he could help her more.

"Do you know if Derek loves me?" The question took him by surprise. "Tell me before he gets back."

Right as Harry was about to say something the door opened. Oh well, I'll save questioning for another day.

"Chloe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
